First Ha Solar Image

Hi Everyone,

I've been spending most of my time at the Deep Sky CCD Forum since that is what I generally image. However I tried imaging the Sun yesterday. It's a different ballgame for sure!

Specs:

WO Megrez 80 triplet APO
Coronado SM60
Canon D10; Eyepiece projection 14mm Radian

It's not the best Ha image I've seen but it's a start. I'll keep practicing.

Tom, that's a great first Solar Ha image!
Great detail all over!


Thank you for sharing, and looking forward to your next shots!

Tom -

Nice first image! Looks like your set-up is working well. I had a lot of trouble with interference patterns between the Coronado filter and the filter over the chip on my Nikon DSLR. I don't see this problem in your image.

Look forward to seeing future images.
